battlefield-2042

[fierce gull]

Bf is not battle royal

[arctic grove]

I'm done with shooters Nowadays

[wide violet]

remember when BRs were just an Arma mod?

[tame cobalt]

It'll come

[arctic grove]

they might make one to counter warzone

[glossy storm]

How about single player shooters?

[wide violet]

you know, back when BRs werent shit

[shell glacier]

I mean this game was developed as a BR first, explains the way it turned out

[arctic grove]

oh wait apex legends

[arctic grove]

Still waiting for Arma 4.

[glossy storm]

Like Prey 2017?

[shell glacier]

DOOM has been pretty good

[tame cobalt]

Respawn is making a new singel player fps

[wide violet]

didnt dudes company get bought out?

[arctic grove]

IDK cod campaigns have been pretty poop
Bf never really liked single player except for bf3

[shell glacier]

Maybe they should fix Titanfall 2 to show that they maybe give a damn first

[arctic grove]

Bohemia Interactive? Not sure. I haven’t been in the loop.

the last good cod campaign was black ops 2

[shell glacier]

They mean dedicated single player shooters, not multiplayer shooters with thrown on single-player components

[arctic grove]

and modern warfare 2019

bro respawn needs to fix titanfall

[tame cobalt]

still counts if it's good

[arctic grove]

doom eternal counts

[glossy storm]

Infinite Warfare has a good campaign, TBH. A bit clichéd, but still good.

[shell glacier]

Yea

[arctic grove]

now EA fucked battlefront 2

[wide violet]

Tencent bought them. GG

[arctic grove]

shitty multiplayer tho

[arctic grove]

a glitch is ruining the game

[foggy crest]

cold war campaign is also nice i want to play vanguard campaign but i will wait for it to be on gamepass maybe it will come

[glossy storm]

Indeed.

[shell glacier]

Do not buy Vanguard

[arctic grove]

i fucking hate that game

[shell glacier]

It's horrid

[foggy crest]

vanguard is ok its not that bad

[arctic grove]

Looks like they bought a “minority stake” in Bohemia Interactive. I ain’t worried yet.

[arctic grove]

worse than black ops 4

[arctic grove]

don't
if you care about historical accuracy and if you are a history buff
cos that game butchered world war 2 far worse than bf5

[pliant knot]

vanguard is mediocre

[arctic grove]

yes

[arctic grove]

same

[hasty oyster]

i don’t like the gunsmith in vanguard cuz it makes cool ww2 guns into bubba fucked monstrosities from brandon herreras nightmares

[arctic grove]

cod ww2 is also chickenshit

I can’t remember the last solid COD. What, BO2? Lmao

[arctic grove]

10 years ago

[shell glacier]

MW2019 was pretty good I think

[arctic grove]

MW2019 was alright

[floral aspen]

https://mobile.twitter.com/_tom_henderson_/status/1466870556486164482

Tom Henderson said the next BF title will be a hero shooter with MORE EMPHASIS on specialists. If this happens, screw DICE and their ludicrously stupid design

[arctic grove]

I'm just sick of shooters in general now
how's halo infinite

[iron blade]

That campaign is awful from what i heard

[shell glacier]

I doubt they're even making a "next Battlefield game" 🙂

[upbeat sapphire]

How’s it hanging big man Daniel Larson

[arctic grove]

decent, lacks content and not perfect

MW2019 has 1 star on the Microsoft Store. I played a tidbit but I thought it was a camp fest.

[arctic grove]

don't we already have rainbow six seige and over watch

[arctic grove]

currently homeless currently. stay tuned

[upbeat sapphire]

I love those lives my guy

[arctic grove]

that's why im not buying it

[foggy crest]

i dont judge without playing and finishing the story i want to play it i loved ghosts story and people hated it

[floral aspen]

It's better it dies than continue to change in these baffling ways

[scenic tartan]

spider man

[shell glacier]

It's because they want to turn it into a battle royale game so fucking badly

[arctic grove]

great 128 player overwatch
who asked for it.
absolutely no one

[arctic grove]

cheating fest

[arctic grove]

heros means more skins and microtransactions

plus people pay for operators on rainbow Six seige

[floral aspen]

Exactly! I'm pissed that they are turning BF into a Frankenstein with no soul. Forget these devs

[iron blade]

True, but from what ive seen, its a poor man’s BF1 and BfV war stories. Literally the entire story is flashbacks, and only a handful of missions are actually oriented towards the actual story with the 4th reich and whatnot

[reef kestrel]

No one asked for it.

Only EA and some delusional Leadership who though it's a great idea.

[arctic grove]

yeah it was dogcrap at launch and now it's good, I feel like the kill time is too short tho

[fierce gull]

R6 good? Now? Lol

[arctic grove]

no, EA needs to figure their shit out

[reef kestrel]

Well, the things is Rainbow Six Siege isn't comparable with Battlefield which is more into a cluster af battlefield.

[arctic grove]

actually 128 players
puts more strain on the hardware affecting performance
IDK why dice went with it

[foggy crest]

still i cant judge a game by yours opinion no offense bro

[reef kestrel]

And Hero Shooter in a Battlefield doesn't mix well.

Look what we have now.

[iron blade]

Yeah ik, ur choice ig

[arctic grove]

bro I can't stay awakeeeeeee

[reef kestrel]

Sleep

[floral aspen]

EA needs to die. Gaming isn't about having fun anymore. It's about creating overcomplicated ATMs with focus on monetization and not gameplay. If this weren't true, they wouldn't have released a half baked game and added Santa skins to purchase before a new map or weapons

[reef kestrel]

Just wait till Microsoft buy EA like they did for Activision.

[foggy halo]

but he can't sleep either. serious problem

[reef kestrel]

I'm sure Microsoft can fix EA greed issues.

[floral aspen]

🤦‍♂️

[arctic grove]

Stalingrad missions was straight up Bullshit
cod used to be brutal back in, 2008
they showed stuff like Germans killing of nearly dead Russians
Russians killing their own soldiers and stuff
now it's like
bond with your family get them killed have a psychpath obsession over killing germans
so cliche

[arctic grove]

sports games in one sentence
Battlefront 2 in one sentence
dead space 3 in one sentence
bf1 in one sentence

[foggy halo]

Santa skins

[arctic grove]

twice the greed
16 times the scam

What if you wanted to go to heaven but God said: ||'Error: Persistence Data (2002G)'||

[foggy halo]

I'm a regular

[arctic grove]

all of that shit had monetization problems at launch
ea shut down viceral

[reef kestrel]

Probably better game and "worse" or "better" monetization who know?

[floral aspen]

God said <REDACTED>?

[arctic grove]

if God was made by EA
pay 16 dollars to access the heaven dlc

the game is still on early access on EA play lmfao

[foggy halo]

GOD = EA

[arctic grove]

play 3 dollars for hell dlc

[arctic grove]

when did anthem come to ea play??

[floral aspen]

Except your house still isn't finished so you're sleeping on a golden brick street til they decide to get around to it

[arctic grove]

sound like a steal tbfh

[arctic grove]

they charged 100 dollars for early access game wth

[reef kestrel]

EA = Early Access

[prisma anvil]

EA = Entirely Ass

[foggy halo]

nice. people will not complain about realism now.

[arctic grove]

update for house will be made soon
damn your expectations are brutal

[sage dock]

I will get that outfit for Mackay.

[arctic grove]

have you played or heard of the warz infestation survival stories?

[fierce gull]

You can't complain about mislim if you are playing on the US team

[reef kestrel]

Yes, I did and i managed to mess up their transaction (Got it for free.)
(Dunno how.)

[arctic grove]

2021 has been a shit year for gaming

[arctic grove]

Indeed

I can't believe rockstar games can fuck up so bad

[reef kestrel]

I remember I asked a refund for WarZ and they answered they had a error and I somehow got the game for free

Didn't even check if I pay the game

[arctic grove]

they even abandoned red dead online

[floral aspen]

Which is tragic because there were big names released in 2021. Halo Infinite's campaign was the highlight of gaming in 2021

[arctic grove]

they rushed the game out

[hasty oyster]

honestly last proper ight year for gaming is probably 2019

[wide violet]

nah it was End Walkers release

[arctic grove]

when will we get gta 6
wth happened to red dead online

[hasty oyster]

honestly i think if gta 6 comes out it’s gonna do a cyberpunk and disappoint

[prisma anvil]

gta 6?...probably not for a long while, rockstar's gonna monetize the hell outta 5 on next gen

[fierce gull]

If you can't walk into every building 0/10

[arctic grove]

halo 2 anniversary is a fantastic remaster, 343 spent a shit ton of time remastering the cutscences and the game looks amazing to this day. gta remastered is just rockstar being lazy

[arctic grove]

2020 was good
final fantasy 7
nioh 2
animal crossing
doom eternal
last of us 2
ghost of tsushima
demons souls remake
Spiderman miles Morales

[floral aspen]

I haven't played it yet

[foggy crest]

ugly af

[wide violet]

stop what youre doing and go play FF14. wait you cant because the game is doing so well the Publisher stopped selling the game because too many people are trying to get in

[shell glacier]

I don't think modern Rockstar will be capable of making a good game

[floral aspen]

Those cut scenes are gold. That's what I want a Halo movie to be like

[hasty oyster]

yea but shit like re3r and cyberpunk released

[arctic grove]

anyone playing Bf 2042 Now

[arctic grove]

NOPE

[foggy crest]

CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2019

[arctic grove]

I just need some game to pass time til Elden ring

[prisma anvil]

ff7, eternal, tsushima, dsr were probably the ones outta that list i'd say were good....probably animal crossing too( aint my type of game but apparently its popular)

[fierce gull]

God when they gonna release Recker to this game

[arctic grove]

never

[reef kestrel]

FF14 is suffering from the success.
(Nope, I'm not playing FFXIV.)

[fierce gull]

We have irish anyways

[arctic grove]

cos if Elden ring Is out I won't be playing bf2042 ever again

[fierce gull]

But they better add Recker

[shell glacier]

Im unsure if you missed the whole bit of the title that's says 2019

[prisma anvil]

[arctic grove]

Can't weight to see how Stanfield turns out

[reef kestrel]

Irish isn't cringy compared others specialist.

He literally said Don't be a Hero BS.

[arctic grove]

[fierce gull]

What about Casper

[foggy halo]

Write this down: gta 6 will be released in 2025

[reef kestrel]

Casper isn't cringy, same for dozer.

[prisma anvil]

irish and dozer have allright voicelines, nothing great, but nothing that makes me wanna strangle a baby goat either

[arctic grove]

should have called the game shitfield 2042
or battleshit 20-42 fps

[reef kestrel]

There is like 3 who look more generic soldier than a cringy hero shooter.

[foggy halo]

art
15 seconds timer 15 seconds timer

[foggy crest]

i just added 2019 so u dont get confused by 2007 cod 4 modern warfare

[prisma anvil]

increased to 15 again, ffs

[shell glacier]

You were responding with a 2019 game on a message talking about 2020 games

[reef kestrel]

I feelbad for Irish to handle such immature specialist "Well well that was fun.", "ANGEL does it again.", "Don't be sad.", "I'm ready for round two."

[arctic grove]

never been a fan of her shooters
I don't give a damn about the characters
cos I totally can't relate to their backstory or personality
if they have one that Is

[hasty oyster]

honestly i just wished we had standard normal ass guys then have the specialists like battlefront type beat

[fierce gull]

I feel like Casper is one of those good looking soldiers

[arctic grove]

most hero shooters are just like
backstory in a paragraph description
this dudes Japanese
he has a Katana he can cut dudes

[reef kestrel]

He is.

[tame cobalt]

Breakaway conquest 128 has to be one of the most unbalanced conquest maps i have ever seen

[slow basin]

agree

[prisma anvil]

not monetizeable enough probably

[shell glacier]

It's too bad that Mackay has to be the most fun specialists to be play concidering he's the most annoying.
"C'mon, that was too easy!"

[prisma anvil]

so is dozer

[frosty mural]

How you only have 730 credits?

[prisma anvil]

dozer's a good boi

[arctic grove]

look it rainbowsix siege
no charecter or backstory for the operators

[fierce gull]

I don't play hazard that much

[arctic grove]

I like siege cos it's fun to play with friends

[shell glacier]

As do most people tbh

[fierce gull]

Dozer cool

[tame cobalt]

[haughty rune]

So Microsoft just bought activision

[arctic grove]

but otherwise Meh

[wraith sphinx]

nah nah just to the right

[shell glacier]

Don't think I've touched Hazard Zone after one game because it's boring af

[prisma anvil]

ah yes big head dozer

[tame cobalt]

Bucket head helmet

[prisma anvil]

big thonk dozer

[arctic grove]

where's season 1 content

[reef kestrel]

Tbh I will just yet all specialist except Dozer,Casper and Irish. they deserve their place as a Specialist/Elite skins.

[prisma anvil]

gods this chat slowdown is actually ass

[shell glacier]

March probably

[arctic grove]

portal is dead

[arctic grove]

the games already on emergency life support

[reef kestrel]

Remember we thought Portal will carry BF2042

[prisma anvil]

sad but it is what it is

[arctic grove]

march the game will be dead

[simple bison]

flatline

[reef kestrel]

July will be the termination of BF2042.

[shell glacier]

I'll just go back to playing BFV tbh

[arctic grove]

next month has 3 huge games out
dying light 2
Elden ring
horizon forbidden west

[noble moth]

Even cyberpunk got some redemptipn

[fierce gull]

If dice does a battlefront 2 move I'm gonna shoot myself in the foot

[reef kestrel]

They can't.

[arctic grove]

speaking of battlefront 2
new glitch

[shell glacier]

EA won't let the franchise continue after this lol

[grand oxide]

why would you hurt urself for such a company?

[arctic grove]

rip battlefield

[fierce gull]

With nerf gun

[arctic grove]

I really wished for a bf4 remake

[reef kestrel]

They need a competent leadership if they want to make a battlefield better to let it die for 5 years and make a come back.

[shell glacier]

It already didn't sell as much as COD does so when the most recent game turns out like hot shit they have zero reason to continue the franchise

[reef kestrel]

A come back with actual feature and contents we are looking for.

[hasty oyster]

remake or remaster

[fierce gull]

Like hardline to portal

[arctic grove]

portal needs more content

[fierce gull]

I need cops in portal so I can do cops vs WW2 Germany

[shell glacier]

Or maybe they could take what made that game good, and remove the bad parts and evolve that instead of giving us the same game again

[reef kestrel]

Tbh, I wouldn't mind for a BF4 remake but I wouldn't buy it.

2042 could be atleast a proper sequel of BF4 and a prequel for BF2142 but they somehow messed up.

[arctic grove]

it's already dead

[shell glacier]

I like BF4 but I wouldn't buy a BF4 remake

[arctic grove]

portal has like 6 maps that's it

[hasty oyster]

remake as in resident evil remakes or just better graphics aka a remaster?

[arctic grove]

and Bf 2042 7

[reef kestrel]

Imagine a Battlefield Reboot

[arctic grove]

Bf3 had awesome maps

[shell glacier]

The whole franchise needs a reboot

[reef kestrel]

I'm sure EA plan to do a reboot after 2042 fiesta.

[shell glacier]

Honestly it's the only logical step forwards

[arctic grove]

operation metro for infantry gameplay
Caspian border for snipers and vehicles

[arctic grove]

This was the reboot

[fierce gull]

Bf4 reboot so we can make the campaign better and makes more sense

[dapper river]

Portal's basically dead because they overreacted to the farming servers and disabled ALL mastery progress, even on servers with vanilla settings. Oh and there's no matchmaking for experiences that you'd want, which would be helpful in populating servers.

[hasty oyster]

honestly do a mw2019 style reboot like get the og bf3/4 characters and make something new from it

[arctic grove]

EA should be sued for Bf 2042

[shell glacier]

I'd still rather a game that takes want BF4 did well and evolves that

[fierce gull]

Portal was filled with so much XP farming servers at launch

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 lol

I really feel like EA stole my money

[haughty rune]

Same

[fiery shoal]

stop being dramatic

[shell glacier]

I don't want Battlefield 4 part 2, I want a game that can be as good as that because it uses what makes that game good

[fierce gull]

I wasn't even able to make a portal server at launch cuz of the xp servers

[fiery shoal]

ive felt more burned by meals than 2042

[hasty oyster]

i didn’t buy it lmao i played the beta and went shit this is disappointing

[prisma anvil]

welcome to something we said would be an issue, they said, yes theyve fixed it on their end before release...but apparently they didnt..

[dapper river]

And honestly that'd be terrible because the BF3/4 characters are nowhere near as recognizable as Cpt. Price, Soap, Ghost, Gaz, etc

[shell glacier]

And gets rid of what BF4 did poorly (still hate the way the guns feel 🙂)

[arctic grove]

I just want bf5 but more historically accurate and without identity politics in the game

64 player battlefield d day would be epic

[hasty oyster]

true i forgot half the fucking guys except irish and asian bitch

[stiff spruce]

[shell glacier]

128 players would be an actual cool evolution for the series if the maps were better designed

[fierce gull]

Even Recker

[arctic grove]

they could at least fix the glaring issues quickly, but now they went silent

[fiery shoal]

wrong franchise then, especially since you want dday which they said from the beginning wouldnt be included. what identity politics ACTUALLY ended up in the game?

[foggy halo]

you want bf5 to be more immersive and realistic

[arctic grove]

and the game was optimised

[arctic grove]

yes

[earnest verge]

128 player would be cool if they either A: went with tooned down graphics and better art direction, B: waited another 5 years for better average home pc's

[reef kestrel]

128 players or 200+ players it's possible with the current tech but you need to remake the engine to make it more optimize in this situation.

[arctic grove]

Still waiting for d day map

[fiery shoal]

imo hourglass, kaleidoscope and breakaway are the only really "bad" maps

[fierce gull]

Orbital and manifest cool maps 🧐

[unique shoal]

Breakaway bad ? Lmao

[shell glacier]

The avarage home PC will be able to run 128 in 7 years lol

[reef kestrel]

The problem with 128 and 200 is the map design.

[arctic grove]

Soooo

[foggy halo]

Realism is everything and people don’t understand that. They need to watch some real life videos to appreciate realism.

[fiery shoal]

manifest is my favorite map, orbital is solid except the emptyish center but at least theres a lot of cover

[shell glacier]

Nobody is gonna do any actual gaming with an avarage home computer, DICE was waiting more on the console hardware

[arctic grove]

When will an update come

[hasty oyster]

i saw a thing about how 2042 was made for fortnite kids and i gotta agree fr

[shell glacier]

I hate discarded as well

[fierce gull]

There is gonna be an update this week

[vivid nacelle]

Portal is full of Realism, 1 shot and youre dead

[foggy halo]

real life combat videos

[earnest verge]

i think manifest is most players favorite map

[shell glacier]

Discarded is pretty ass

[fiery shoal]

you mean the woefully imbalanced map that has some 3 points nearly inaccessible to one team and being insanely wide open/empty for at least half the maps?

[arctic grove]

Beach landing maps have always been pretty bad in bf,anyone remember gulf of Oman 2014?

[vivid nacelle]

the India map is the worst for me. So open, so vast, so little to do

[shell glacier]

I like Orbital quite a bit

[earnest verge]

bro, the beach landing map in bf1 was one of the best in battlefield history

[pure basin]

Iwo jima bfv? Pretty good imo

[twin solstice]

Need help with the weeakly skin reviving squad

[reef kestrel]

I wish you could make a trench in Breakaway first point during Breakthrough mode.

[arctic grove]

Normandy in bf1942 was pretty infamous for German snipers spawn camping at the back

[arctic grove]

No 🥱

[arctic grove]

amen to that

Today marks 1 month since the last update, RIP BF2042 - Cancelled too soon, free my guy, fly high my angel

[shell glacier]

That shit was good if you had a good lobby

[lost wind]

Iwo Jima was a pretty cool map in BFV. Probably one of my favorite maps in the game

[shell glacier]

BF1's maps were mostly good I think

[arctic grove]

bf1 map design was perfect for the time period

Iwo Jima isn't really beach landing unless it's breakthrough as the us team is already on the beach in conquest

[hasty oyster]

cuz that was fucking normandy legit spawn camping irl

[shell glacier]

I've never been too fond of most of the base BF4 maps

[summer tree]

Microsoft just need to buy dice and we are going to get a good battlefield

[earnest verge]

for sure, bf1 maps was something else, really awesome stuff

[arctic grove]

Wake island is beach lamding

[fierce gull]

Nah get sony

[lost wind]

Wake island in BFV is probably my least favorite map in the game

[shell glacier]

Billion dollar company will not ensure a good product

I'm sure Microsoft owning Bethesda won't mean Bethesda will suddenly put out good games

[fiery shoal]

crackdown anyone?

[hasty oyster]

ea is proof

[arctic grove]

Yea but gameplay adjustments should be made to make the map actually fun to play and Normandy wasn't really that fun as the us unless the Germans where bad or everyone was organized

[arctic grove]

It's for warrior map

[summer tree]

Sony? Why they need to have concurrence

[bright axle]

i"m with on that...i maybe liked 3 of them

[lost wind]

What do you mean?

[shell glacier]

And Microsoft owning the COD studios doesn't mean we will get a good COD game

[arctic grove]

I do think that the Gallipoli map was pretty good as long as the Brits got the castle objective and got a foothold on the map

[shell glacier]

As much as I'd enjoy a good COD game, unfortunately

[earnest verge]

sush, i got my hopes up for the miracle that was world at wars now

[arctic grove]

d day map could be balanced with more tickets for attackers
I mean d day itself is a defence oriented map

[foggy halo]

Yea but gameplay adjustments should be made to make the map actually fun to play and Normandy wasn't really that fun as the us unless the Germans where bad or everyone was organized

[fierce gull]

Spiderman in battlefield for PS users

[summer tree]

They literally say new engine with split engine from halo infinity so he could not be better

[arctic grove]

Gotta kamikaze your life for fellow warrior when we land on the beach for honor

[shell glacier]

WAW was good because the team behind it had passion to work on the project

[fierce gull]

For portal only

[arctic grove]

on a d day map
snipers can shoot machine guns from the bunkers though

[lost wind]

Monte Grappa was probably my favorite map in BFV. Along with paschendale

[arctic grove]

I personally would if there was a d day map do literally any other beach then Normandy anyway like sword or Juno

[summer tree]

Sony just have the right for movie

[arctic grove]

You ready to do your country proud

[shell glacier]

It was their first opportunity to take what COD4 did well, and put it in a WWII setting

[fierce gull]

Spider man game crossover 🧐

[arctic grove]

waw is one of my favorite world war 2 games of all time

[hasty oyster]

this would be a good idea and maybe have a thing you can do aka get bangalores to destroy the mg’s to get better movement from spawn

[lost wind]

OH-RAH!

[shell glacier]

Now there isn't much passion to make a good game anymore

[summer tree]

Microsoft need to buy Disney and no more Spider-Man on PlayStation only

[arctic grove]

😭 your a brave warrior oh rahh!!!!

[shell glacier]

MW2019 was the first COD since BO2 that felt like there were parts of the dev team that really cared about the product. The animation and sound design was top-notch even if the map design and other aspects weren't as good

[pure basin]

Microsoft buy Disney lol

[fiery shoal]

imo passion projects are for the indie scene, profit is made on games for selling millions of units, aka appealing to the widest audience possible

[arctic grove]

have u seen the ending for world at war
they literally showed atomic bombing footage

world at war showed the true horrors of the war

[summer tree]

I mean it’s possible , Microsoft has infinity cash

[shell glacier]

There can be passion behind triple A projects

[rustic spire]

what bf are you guys playing these days?

[pure basin]

Dude be real

[arctic grove]

even battlefield 1

[foggy halo]

People need to work at a job they love!

[fiery shoal]

im not saying there cant be...

[tame cobalt]

Squads should be 6 players imo

[hasty oyster]

that’s what made waw good was that it had balls it showed actual footage of war

[summer tree]

Or even just buy take two for GTA

[shell glacier]

Disney would buy Microsoft before they bought Disney lol wtf

[arctic grove]

like bf1 operations
showed the importance of the battles
and taught the history behind each battle

Then again, battlefield 5s launch maps where going for a different vibe to bf1 because it was mainly in early war Europe which due to the blitzkrieg meant not to much was destroyed and such

[tame cobalt]

Or 8 if they really wanna keep it a divisor of 128

[foggy tundra]

there are some insidious indie teams too, its not just limited to AAA studios

[shell glacier]

Disney are complete corporate scum

[arctic grove]

And France/Norway/the low countries are natrually pretty sunny/colourful so I can get what dice was going for with those

[arctic grove]

it didn't shy away from anything
never glorified the war
just stuff as they were

[hasty oyster]

they could of atleast had some maps in poland and russia hell even had some chinese in ww2 would have been cool not just fuckin england america germany and japan

[fiery shoal]

yea, im not saying anything is exclusive to one thing or another, just a generalization considering what triple a games are trying to achieve vs indie and the kind of atmosphere they harbor

[foggy tundra]

gotcha

[arctic grove]

the initial trailer set me off from bf5 British metal claw woman in world war 2
EA devs telling us don't buy the game
and then that
why can't I be a girl in battlefield when I can be a girl in fortnite excuse

[shell glacier]

Triple A games generally sell better when the game isn't a cash grab suprisingly

[arctic grove]

Not that I wouldn't want the eastern front because I did but Russia wasn't involved at all during the very early stages minus there invasion into Poland and the winter war in 1939

If anything Russia should have came to bf5 before the us did

[errant jetty]

whens the new update?

[hasty oyster]

then have maps on the winter war and poland as we don’t see that shit in anything

[shell glacier]

And even if it doesn't sell amazingly atleast the game is still good enough to develop a nice community and keep a smaller but dedicated playerbase for years (STEEP)

[pure basin]

They just tweeted they’re shutting down servers at the end of the week

[arctic grove]

I don't know why people (or game devs think that people) always feel like they need to be able to play as themselves in every video game. It's a WW2 game, do you really need to be playing as a person who resembles yourself?

[earnest verge]

Andrew Wilson told me personaly, soon

[errant jetty]

finally

[arctic grove]

Then again considering they didn't even make Dutch and French mini factions would people really wanna fight in Warsaw as the British?

[foggy tundra]

theres a possibility of an announcement this week or next, 2 devs have said soon regarding updates

[dapper river]

But guys with this game EA LITERALLY stole my money, they sent the scary man to my house and he busted down my door and took $6347 from my wallet (the price of ONE deluxe editon of BF2042), im literally shaking and crying my money was stolen we need a class action lawsuit against EA now and the devs should loose they're job's over this!!!!!!!!!!!

[shell glacier]

But even then passion also doesn't = quality

[foggy tundra]

[summer tree]

Microsoft have more cash than Disney proof

[foggy halo]

🚺

[arctic grove]

When is the patch going to hit? 31st Jan?

[errant jetty]

yay finally we can get some new content

[arctic grove]

L

[hasty oyster]

agreed fr they added the us because more american patriots would play as the us than russians

[shell glacier]

Yea but why the fuck would they buy Disney

[prisma anvil]

we really running with the 2 devs thingy eh twiggsy?

[arctic grove]

L game

[pure basin]

Microsoft buys Disney then they get trust busted awful idea

[foggy tundra]

it was 2 devs

soon tm

[prisma anvil]

copyright

[arctic grove]

But dice saw the fact that lets be honest here more people wanted the us in bf5 then Russia because most ww2 media is heavily us focused

[foggy tundra]

unbased

[arctic grove]

Russians had the most casualties in the war
world war 2 means a lot to them even today

[foggy tundra]

cringe embark

[arctic grove]

L game

[shell glacier]

And you have to remember that just because Microsoft has mad money doesn't mean the Xbox devision of Microsoft can use all of that

[hasty oyster]

ready or not thing

[prisma anvil]

ha, no u

[reef kestrel]

One day we will have our own futuristic battlefield and it's Planetside 3.

[foggy tundra]

[arctic grove]

Stalingrad was one of the most brutal battles of the war

[reef kestrel]

[arctic grove]

It's why I actually kinda liked having the Brits be the focus at launch instead of just the us saves the day again

[foggy tundra]

angel does it again

[pure basin]

Bfv was a good game if you aren’t a history nerd

[arctic grove]

Brits were carried in world war 2 though

[summer tree]

Phil spencer is leading the division like a king and the ceo of Microsoft said it’s open for buying thing so will see

[hasty oyster]

yes as a russian myself i love my ww2 history but from a point of view of a random american teen why would they care about russian deaths?

[arctic grove]

Why do that when we can have such great maps like Narvik.

inb4 microsoft buys EA

[reef kestrel]

Master Chief is dominating the industry.

[arctic grove]

if the us never intervened
germans would have beaten the Brits

[shell glacier]

Mfw I play the 10,000th world war 2 game with the young American solider that writes a journal and also contributes massively to the war effort

[arctic grove]

The Brits did alot more then people think bit they mainly did covert operations then actual major fighting minus the late African front and early war in Europe

[arctic grove]

Good luck getting on the isles when the royal navy exists lol

[foggy tundra]

im still surprised that EAs net worth is less than the company i work at

[hasty oyster]

russia carried ww2 💪💪💪💪🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🪖🪖🪖🪖

[arctic grove]

And obviously covert operations are hard to depict in a game like battlefield which is mainly focused on large scale warfare

[shell glacier]

I mean, is it really surprising?

[arctic grove]

in a way true
but the war affected everyone
I'm an Indian
my country wasn't even in the war
but we learned about it in history class too

[earnest verge]

true

[shell glacier]

More and more people are catching onto EA's shit

[reef kestrel]

Russia come to you.

[foggy tundra]

youd think EA was worth over 20 bil tho

[reef kestrel]

EA isn't even worth 69 bil.

[foggy tundra]

11.2 billion for EA

[arctic grove]

I also wanted Russia in bf5 considering they got a full on russian choir for the in the name of the tsar ost and God that stuff is good

[arctic grove]

the really can't do much with the whole of Europe fallen
even in ww1
They were at a breaking point

[solid plume]

EA would be worth 50b+ if they could publish good games

[pure basin]

11.2 billion is still fucking crazy

[foggy tundra]

and they have

[reef kestrel]

If they could, no one would buy EA except if they do a oopsy.

[foggy tundra]

literally fallen order

[prisma anvil]

apex

[arctic grove]

on the east yes
you must have been pretty proud to see the Russian flag over Berlin

[foggy tundra]

bf1, bf2, bf2142

titanfall 2

[earnest verge]

i dunno, i was hugly dissapoint with that game, both as a souls lover and a starwars fanboi

[reef kestrel]

Fallen Order was good tbh.

[foggy tundra]

lol

[foggy crest]

fatman carried ww2

[arctic grove]

seemed decent

[foggy tundra]

fallen order is one of a few games i fanboy over

bf2142 is the other

[prisma anvil]

fallen order good

[reef kestrel]

BF2142 is

[prisma anvil]

gib sequel with more nightsisters, thanks ea

[earnest verge]

it was decent, but nothing spectacular, the story and the gameplay was bland at best, witch is amazing consider u already got the souls formula + starwars ip to throw all over it

[foggy tundra]

they dead bruh

[reef kestrel]

A sequel will be announced dis year btw.

[shell glacier]

Something something too young to have played it

[arctic grove]

fallen order seems like ripped off Many games

I think that if and when there's another true world war 2 bf game I'd rather they do a bf1 approach and have all the majors with 2 maps or more for each of them at launch

[haughty rune]

Honestly I really hate that Disney scrapped the extended universe with 7, 8, and 9

[prisma anvil]

i mean, you never know...cant hurt to hope right

[foggy tundra]

7 8 and 9 were bad

they dont exist

[reef kestrel]

they should make 7-8-9 non-canon

[foggy tundra]

and im happy they dont

[prisma anvil]

yes, am excited

[arctic grove]

That and remake battle of coral sea with some true naval warfare and somehow get the submarines from 1942 back in action

[reef kestrel]

I hope the Kenobi series will lead to canon path.

[foggy tundra]

they are noncanon

disney made that official likr 2 years ago

[reef kestrel]

[foggy tundra]

maybe 3?

[haughty rune]

Can you link that I could never find that

[arctic grove]

star wars ended well in ep 6

never bothered to see 7 8 9

[earnest verge]

there is no end to star wars, gazzilion of story to be told

[foggy tundra]

[arctic grove]

battlefront 2 was a good game though but not all games can't be redeemed

bf2042 it's beyond redemption

[reef kestrel]

No one will say BF2042 was a great game like BFV had.

It's the worse of the worse.

[arctic grove]

EA needs to know
even if they try to redeem it
it's too late

[foggy crest]

not right now but at the end of its life cycle i think maybe it will be avg atleast

[brittle forge]

It depends on what they do

[arctic grove]

the game is already dying
bf1 player count overtaking it

[reef kestrel]

BF2042 is beyond repair except if EA/DICE plan to revamp the whole core design.

[brittle forge]

If they give up or can’t fix it fine but to be fair dice they have at least tried to address every other game and have mostly done a good job

[arctic grove]

too much work

At this point they should pull a final fantasy 14 on it and fully reboot the entire game

[reef kestrel]

They aren't Japanese they are western.

[arctic grove]

Call it battlefield 2043 or smth and then go from there

[arctic grove]

that costs a but ton of money

[earnest verge]

big doubt, different mindsets

[brittle forge]

BF4, Battlefront 2, and BFV all got the redemption treatment. This is the most daunting task of those but that’s three for three

[reef kestrel]

Just erase 2042 from the franchise.

[arctic grove]

charge 60 dollars for it again

[foggy crest]

i know i know but i am talking about when dlcs will release people will come back and after 2 years i think it will be atleast an average game

[arctic grove]

Obviously I doubt it'd happen but it's probably one of the better outcomes I can think of the game

[arctic grove]

possible

[foggy crest]

we can hope

[earnest verge]

yeah i agree, but EA way to evil for that

[arctic grove]

Unless season 1 is some miracle patch that fixes everything wrong with the games design and such

[hasty oyster]

i just want a functional aaa game on launch honestly

[arctic grove]

7 maps and 22 guns Is a joke

[reef kestrel]

BF2042 getting players back ?

I doubt, the game got backlash and controversy to death I doubt this game can be revived or regain his original playerbase.

[arctic grove]

there's literally like just 2 lmg and 3 snipers in the game

What's weird is,they have all the portal content they locked to portal when all the guns for the era of the game

[foggy halo]

You can’t erase bf2042 from the franchise. You need to invent a time machine.
I already have one, and some people that volunteer to try it.

[arctic grove]

And before you say the Ww2 guns don't fit there's a lever action in the base 2042 selection

[reef kestrel]

Someone need to turn back in time and yeet the lead designer, leadership and take over and say DEW DIS AND DIS.

[arctic grove]

also world war 3 free to play battlefield clone coming out in march

[solid plume]

they made battlefield hardline disappear.

[hasty oyster]

isn’t it a modernised one

[foggy crest]

trust me all of us are kids and when the new awesome gameplay trailer will drop people will get hyped up this game imo has potential and if treated well by devs it can comeback easily its toally on devs

[arctic grove]

It's still a lever action no matter how modernized it is

I've heard good things about it

[solid plume]

you mean slide action? what lever action gun is there?

[arctic grove]

So what I'm saying is,why not just port all the bf3/bc2 and 1942 content to the main modes with the maps guns gadgets and maybe vechiles because that's a ungodly amount of vechiles unused to

Bf had such a great opportunity to win the 3 way deadlock
Bf cod and halo and just squandered it
they could have won against cod easily

[reef kestrel]

I don't think they can get us twice only delusional players will come back. :x

[hasty oyster]

i don’t think i saw john marston carrying a Winchester with piccitinny railing handguard

[fierce gull]

Not if they add it to portal

[arctic grove]

why no single player for 2042
we paid full price

[arctic grove]

The gvt 45-70 is a lever action,it's in the utility section and is honestly pretty bad

[solid plume]

yikes

[daring pawn]

Games officially dead

[hasty oyster]

lever actions are cool aswell so idk

[daring pawn]

Literally got in a game full of bots

[arctic grove]

halo has free multi-player
cod had atleast single and multi-player
Bf has no single player modes

I love the semi auto rifles of Bf1

Like if they don't port the guns why not port the EOD bot,the javelin and the RPG to the gadget selection of the main game

[hasty oyster]

and the only reason ww2 guns would be used is terrorist organisation but i see no terrorists

[arctic grove]

rip

[hasty oyster]

tf2 moment

[solid plume]

probably future planned DLC operators for $19.99

[arctic grove]

bots are dumb

[prisma anvil]

probably too much to balance at once

[arctic grove]

is bf1 dead

Also the m1911,come on its the m1911 In a battlefield game or deserves to be there even as a simple port of the bf3 or 1942 one in portal

[prisma anvil]

i dont think they did much in terms of balance, they just imported all the numerical values from older games direct to portal

[fierce gull]

It has less players than 2042 so yeah

[arctic grove]

passchendaele map has to be one of the most beautiful and horrifying maps I've ever seen

[hasty oyster]

dice can only do one thing at a time like focus on stealing money

[arctic grove]

EA are just thieves

[daring saffron]

i like battlefield 2042

[arctic grove]

dice Is EA puppet
cant do anything

[hasty oyster]

the 1911 is getting taken out of service in the us lmao meaning by 2042 shits gone most likely

[arctic grove]

And with bf1 apperantly coming to portal with season 1 that's a whole other lot of content added that could be in the main modes

[fierce gull]

Bf1 to portal?

[steep skiff]

BF1 isn't coming to portal anytime soon idk where you got that from

[arctic grove]

that's a start I guess
128 player bf1 would be fun but
let's see
if there's players

Apperantly bf1 content for date mined or smth and that's the assumption for the next portal content

[zenith lion]

managed to get myself an absolute legend tag. did 50/50 badges, but even tho it's completed, i can't equip it. restarted the game countless times but still appears somewhere at the bottom next to other locked tags. any ideas?

[earnest verge]

still gonna be couple of 100k or however many there is out there today still lying around in 2042 i bealive

[arctic grove]

It makes sense because bf1 was the most successful bf game and dice would want to try bring back players with it

I just want classic bf1

[steep skiff]

I wonder if they will launch BF1 in portal with half the content missing like BF3 and bad company

[arctic grove]

not 2042 vs bf1 stuff

[hasty oyster]

yea but the army isn’t gonna use them like for instance russian army still has all the old guns but only uses ak12 and ak74m

[arctic grove]

As long as they don't choose the terrible maps (aka Galicia and Monte grappa) it should be alright

[fierce gull]

Imagine US Marines in bf1 maps 🧐

[arctic grove]

portal has 6 maps
2 from 3
2 from 1942
2 from bc2

[steep skiff]

ik its so bad lol

[arctic grove]

Really portal should have just been one fully remastered game at game

[arctic grove]

is Russia really invading Ukraine

I saw NATO warning Russia news

Not something that has a lot of content missing (bf3/bc2) or they choose probably the worst maps that the game had to offer (1942)

[daring saffron]

battlefield 2142 in portal?

[hasty oyster]

they took little parts back in 2013/2014 like crimea and donetsk

[steep skiff]

Russia has developed bulletproof suits that are starting to be implemented into their military

[arctic grove]

I really wish the old USSR is back
not a fan of us policing the world

[daring saffron]

i saw those

[hasty oyster]

nah commie union sucks

[daring saffron]

they claim they can stop a 50 cal or something

[arctic grove]

Nobody likes to play el Alamein as infantry,they played it because it had a bomber and you could have tons of dog fights

[steep skiff]

apparently they can withstand 50. cal

[hasty oyster]

ratnik 3 is cool as shit but i like more like ratnik 1

[reef kestrel]

But can it stop the kinetic force?

[fierce gull]

People usually use al Alamein in portal for D-Day

[arctic grove]

so u don't have free education housing and medicine in the USSR

[earnest verge]

there is 0% chance i bealive that, the back of those plate would 100% kill you and if not that, the blunt force would

[prisma anvil]

what type of 50 cal though?

[arctic grove]

Battle of the bulge was also vechile hell in 1942 back in 2002 and it's still vechile hell now

[solid plume]

ya I call bullshit

[reef kestrel]

Imagine the impact on your chest with a 50 cal

Rip few of your bones.

[fierce gull]

You are dead from that

[hasty oyster]

i don’t like commies i like commie technology tho

[steep skiff]

hey that's just what they said who knows if they're lying

[arctic grove]

Also,imagine remastering bf3 and not including the usas 12 and some form of metro

[fierce gull]

Either dead or you just on the ground shaking

[arctic grove]

I don't like capitalists
just one class exploiting another

[reef kestrel]

or he miss ze shot and somehow rip your legs

[earnest verge]

yeah but they also say USA dont have alien spaceships hidden away in area 52, and we all know they just moved them to area 53 couse of tourists

[hasty oyster]

all of it is pretty shit imo i just wish we call all live happily and friendly together

[prisma anvil]

best case scenario you'd live with some cracked ribs/sternum...you'd definitely have the wind knocked outta you tho...might even just pass out

[arctic grove]

I like the idea Of
common resources for the community
everyone has access to all basic needs

[fierce gull]

USA has helmets with a minimap hud
Call of duty becoming a real thing

[zenith lion]

managed to get myself an absolute legend tag. did 50/50 badges, but even tho it's completed, i can't equip it. restarted the game countless times but still appears somewhere at the bottom next to other locked tags. any ideas?

[arctic grove]

well
true

Bad company 2 I unfortunately didn't play but overall that one seems to have the best map choices made for it,but then again that also has alot of missing guns,what's even more weird is minus the pkm all missing guns would overlap with bf3

[steep skiff]

those are so freakin expensive lol

[fierce gull]

Can't wait for aimbot and real time esp in the future

[hasty oyster]

i support the idea of “free”health care and shit but i don’t like having to be watched 24/7 and no free speech

[arctic grove]

also 2042 only had 2 game modes at launch

Also,there's no aek or f2000 in bad company 2 portal aswell

[fierce gull]

For aow

[steep skiff]

we shitting on 2042 welcome

[hasty oyster]

tactical tuna

[dapper river]

Wdym? Just do not dissent against the state. Love your government. :)

[fierce gull]

Can be fun

[earnest verge]

actually us have supposedly developed some kind of sniper bullet that can slightly adjust its path mid flight, and that was a pretty long time ago

[steep skiff]

Free health care = higher taxes

[fierce gull]

[hasty oyster]

i like being able to shit talk people and make fucked jokes

[earnest verge]

who cares, im gonna be a robot when i grow old anyway

[steep skiff]

yo the Nut from plants vs zombies tho

[pliant knot]

idk but fuck biden yea

[steep skiff]

you mean brandon?

[dapper river]

Umm that's problematic and toxic sweetie, this conversation has been recorded into your secret permanent record and will affect your future social credit score once the system is implemented in the US.

[pliant knot]

everyone

[hasty oyster]

fuck biden for banning russian ammo i wanna sell you cheap ammo

[carmine mulch]

This server is not the place to discuss politics :)

[dapper river]

[foggy crest]

no no no if the content is really good and polished map design is also good then ???

[tender folio]

I jump in the right time, i guess.

[lost wind]

Ok, what is happening?

[tender folio]

I don't know .. but let's enjoy watching the fight

[arctic grove]

Battlefield 2042 chat ain't the place for your Bing Chilling.

[fierce gull]

We went from battlefield to politics

Did they actually?

[dull badger]

Stop, now. Politics is not allowed here.

[arctic grove]

[hasty oyster]

yea shits funny

[dapper river]

is just how it works out sometimes...

[fierce gull]

Ayo wtf

[dull badger]

Move on. Now

This channel is meant for 2042 talk, let's use it for that

[lost wind]

Is it just me or are the final objectives in rush 2042 really good? Like as in the combat zones

On kaleidoscope your fighting in some sort of penthouse, & on breakaway you advance to the oil rig

[fierce gull]

Yeah I really like rush
Hope they add it to All out warfare soon

[arctic grove]

just to confirm my suspicions… has anyone actually had luck while defending on breakthrough?

[earnest verge]

luck, no, won, u bet

[slow mortar]

When are the new fucking updates

[earnest verge]

u been defending team on that half desert half grasslands map? @arctic grove ive been hard stuck at spawn as attacking team more than one time

[signal trout]

when its done™️

[nova idol]

Holy shit I just got the weirdest glitch, bullets started firing from the underbarrel GL on my SFAR-M GL, semi auto with the physics of grenades

[lost wind]

Haha!

[tender folio]

top ten mysteries science can't answer

[signal trout]

(except some of it is already done just not released)

[dapper river]

Needs some serious fixes if they're gonna add it to AOW, and no more than 24 players at a time. 32 would be pushing it. 64 players on the way the current maps are set up? Forget about it. And 128? LOL.

It's almost like they should have like a... browser of some sort, so players could pick the size of the games they want...

[arctic grove]

64 players need to be the standard moving forward.

[summer tree]

I hope tomorrow some communication about bf 😦

[dapper river]

I'd be fine with 128 CQ if it didn't run so shit when you're in the thick of the action.

[sudden valve]

lmfao dude thats funny

[arctic grove]

oh yea attacker’s usually lose there or barely clutch a win

[earnest verge]

i really grown to love 80 players, my brother can even play 80's servers on a laptop so seam performance not a hughe issue at that player count

[summer tree]

After that new with Microsoft they need to communicate 😂

[tame cobalt]

Breakaway and hourglass = L cq128 maps

Particularly if you actually care about the mode and pay attention to holding majority sectors

Breakaway is insanely unbalanced

And hourglass is... Hourglass

[sudden valve]

hourglass is sand simulator

[vivid nacelle]

its too orange

[earnest verge]

yeah, for some unknown reason people dont play smokes in 2042

[tame cobalt]

The orange is the best part

[arctic grove]

Well what other color will you see in the Arabian peninsula

hourglass is sahara desert

[arctic grove]

literally

there is NO effort put into it whatsoever

[sudden valve]

no point, as soon as you run through it you either

1. get shot by a bolte
2. get run over by a bolte
3. have a bolte drop land on your head
4. have a bolte explode near you
5. nightbird

[topaz solar]

Hate the fucking people who camp in vehicles ngl

[earnest verge]

same issue, players bad, the tools are there

[arctic grove]

How do you camp in vehicles?

[topaz solar]

Like what's so satisfying about sitting in a tank or shit camping

[vivid nacelle]

indeed, players do not put effort in objective mode, and its making me crazyt at times. If you dont want to play objective, play all out war and do your own thing

[arctic grove]

Any play style that isn’t running into the crosshairs of the entire enemy team: camping apparently

[proven ermine]

No way people still play this pile of shit

[tame cobalt]

Hourglass having sand is fine, the dust storm is sick, but the sector layout is not fine, and the map is literally designed for vehicles to farm infantry which gets old pretty quick

[vivid nacelle]

throw smokes, place beacons, do SOMETHING inste"ad of camping for fk the whole game lazy sh

[winged coyote]

@topaz solar you have a beautiful pfp

[hidden sand]

I'm just saying, but if you need to smoke the entire map then maybe the map is poorly designed. This was a nonissue on some of the even worst maps in previous games.

[arctic grove]

Me?

[arctic grove]

the dust storm which does absolutely nothing except be annoying and obnoxious as fuck yeah

[vivid nacelle]

no, in general, to all players doing objective modes

[fierce gull]

You don't need to smoke the entire map what

[topaz solar]

I've only had the game for three weeks at this point on ps5. But like bruh always people camping in vehicles and a shit ton of people who use snipers and the lmg that gets unlocked later on

[winged coyote]

Dust storm lets us push objectives that would be guarded by snipers and lmg campers sometimes

[somber pebble]

Yeah that happens when the map has no cover

[arctic grove]

It hurts my head trying to comprehend how using LMGs and snipers appropriately is an issue and is camping same with vehicles

[earnest verge]

yeah i agree map designs are poor all over in 2042, but not using smokes in a battlefield game should give u a score deduction at the end of the round or something, smokes are the play in every battlefield game, more so than ever in the barren 2042

[arctic grove]

wonder where the dynamic everchanging maps went

[tame cobalt]

It's dope. Turns the ugliest map into a gorgeous one. And yeah, temporarily reducing visibility range is cool.

[topaz solar]

Same with the fucking people who use fighter jets and most likely use a joystick ^

[somber pebble]

Because poor map design means there's no counter play

[arctic grove]

But what if my play style doesn’t revolve around smokes

[hidden sand]

It was an exaggeration lol. The point is that there's barely any cover and flow to them.

[earnest verge]

thats fine, but if everyone thinks like that, u lose, and then ppl still cry "no teamplay"

[fierce gull]

Skill issue if you can't dodge bullets like the matrix

[arctic grove]

there is nothing cool about it, its just a stupid marketing tool that contributes nothing to gameplay and graphically isnt that impressive

[sudden valve]

my fave setup in bfv was smoke nades + smoke nade launcher and all silenced weapons. i just dont get the same satisfaction or results from running a single smoke grenade in my loadout

[hidden sand]

Yeah smokes should totally be used. All I'm dsying is that the extent you have to use them in 2042 is ridiculous.

[earnest verge]

some voip would be usefull so you could cordinate ur squad atleast

[arctic grove]

nah bro too toxic

I feel like discords existence is maybe why voip was smited

[arctic grove]

what

[fierce gull]

It kinda was

[arctic grove]

thats not an excuse for not having ingame voip

[prisma anvil]

It was time....

[barren ore]

Discord is all you need.

[sudden valve]

i never used voip anyway

[lost wind]

I have smoke grenades on my medic

[dapper river]

Vehicle "camping"? Get Sundance and a recoilless, or C5 and Casper drone. Air vehicle? Angel supply crate and AA launcher. No excuses not to take out a vehicle, even if you have to burn a couple lives to do it.

[fierce gull]

Most people use discord than voip

[arctic grove]

Neither did I say it was. However it was probably deemed a useless feature pal

[somber pebble]

Yeah but discord isn't usable on console, and cross play doesn't allow party systems

[prisma anvil]

Probably couldn't get it working for crossplay

[sudden valve]

all i want is ALL chat and a scoreboard

[arctic grove]

Well then again discord is coming to PS5. Idk about Xbox though, like an actual app. It may have one already

having to resort to a third party service like discord instead of using a basic game feature is just ridiculously dumb game design

[topaz solar]

What does the recoilless work on cause some guy killed me with one but

[lost wind]

I’d love to stream from a console to discord

[somber pebble]

Same, xbox live party system is poo

[dapper river]

This but a squad menu so i can lock out stupid randoms when I'm trying to play with friends.

[fierce gull]

Oh crap I forgot about discord coming to ps5

[arctic grove]

lmaoooooo what the fuck is this

[somber pebble]

It doesn't and probably won't, you can use the Xbox app on pc to party with someone on xbox but it's pretty shit

[arctic grove]

how do you defend a AAA game in 2021 based around squad play not having native voip

[dapper river]

Weird because you'd think discord would already be on Xbox since the two of them are in kahoots.

[fierce gull]

Who?

[somber pebble]

Thats toxic. Are you trying to hurt someone's feelings

[earnest verge]

calm down no one is, ppl speculate of reasons for it being removed

[arctic grove]

but then again dice calls voip a legacy feature sooooo

[dense terrace]

so much squad play in horde 128 modes yep yep

[sudden valve]

that was fun

[hard plume]

Barely anyone did. I can count the times it was use on one hand

[barren ore]

Don't need native voice when you have a program dedicated to voip. Discord is all I need.

[arctic grove]

encourage the devs to remove more basic features from a AAA title yes

it’s why cod lobbies are usually just so quiet now. parties and discord

[hard plume]

Voip are only important in games like r6

[arctic grove]

thats all we need right now

[earnest verge]

there actually is, a 4 man squad can defend a sector or 2 flags forever by avoiding the meat grinder, thus squad play and winning more games

[sudden valve]

bfv had amazing squadplay

[dense terrace]

they can get eaten by a flood if the horde decides to go their way

[fierce gull]

Voip would be neat in hazard zone but in AOW idk

[arctic grove]

at least the reinforcements had an actual impact on the outcome of the game if used correctly

[sudden valve]

when me and the boys squaded up in vc, we won nearly every time

[hard plume]

Yeah agreed, that’s probably the only mode it would be good in, AOW? Nah

[dense terrace]

i guess u swap points if that happens and continue defending smaller waves of hordes.

so bf2042 is a zombie mode, now it makes sense

[fierce gull]

What the hell you saying

[dense terrace]

just 128 modes, others are way better for squad play

[reef kestrel]

No chance.

[earnest verge]

either way i want voip to cordinate with my squad, having more fun, making friends and enemies depending if they take orders nor not

[fierce gull]

I want all chat so I can say fuck you to my enemies each time I get a good kill

[foggy crest]

sad man games of today made us like this 🥲

[earnest verge]

100%

[dense terrace]

i want stat page to work but that will prolly never happen 😦 my mp9 and k30 kd and kpm stats!

[fiery shoal]

stat tracker will likely come at some point

[fierce gull]

Probably when season 1 comes out

[earnest verge]

or even better, they kill u 10 times u say nothing, u kill them 1 time, let them know how much better you are

[fierce gull]

Hit them with a tbag as well

[dense terrace]

says coming soon since release 😄

[prisma anvil]

Could we also get back the you vs enemy kill count tracker thingy?

[earnest verge]

tbag not as fun now when its not first person when downed : /

[fiery shoal]

i actually like this more than scoreboard xD

[fierce gull]

True

[earnest verge]

its more important to me the enemy see my ass than its for me to see whatever skin im using

[prisma anvil]

I mean... Why not both? @fiery shoal

[somber pebble]

That's a brutal expectation

[fierce gull]

This week's update better bug patches as well and not just portal

[arctic grove]

nah man everyone is a winner

[prisma anvil]

Damn... It really do be like that sometimes

[fiery shoal]

me liking one more doesnt mean i want just one, none, or both...

[arctic grove]

you cant just tell the player that an enemy is better than them thats just discrimination man...

[somber pebble]

They need to bring back ribbons so everyone gets a participation ribbon

[fierce gull]

I don't think everyone a winner if you get insulted at the end of the game lmao

[dense terrace]

just replace FFA with TDM at least that would be good news 😛

[prisma anvil]

Both?... Both... Agreeed

[arctic grove]

the bad players also have feelings smh

[prisma anvil]

Pleasure doing business with ya... @fiery shoal

[fiery shoal]

glad to be of service

[arctic grove]

insulting in bf2042 doesnt exist if you cant see it, dice with the big brain move

cheating doesnt exist if you cant prove it

[hard plume]

That’s honestly how i felt with those ribbons or extra points they give you for something dumb

[prisma anvil]

Kinda like it ain't stealing if ya don't get caught kinda thing... damn..

[dense terrace]

better prepare your butts for another sick skin tommorow

[somber pebble]

Extra points were usually for contributing to your squad, heals, assists, spotting

[fierce gull]

Better be a skin like Casper

[fiery shoal]

bf1 giving points for absolutely everything. my top 1% spm in that game is like 3k, bfv top 1% spm was 650

[arctic grove]

kaspersky

[dense terrace]

maybe NATO Tuk-Tuk !

[earnest verge]

i prepared my butt cause its a vehicle skin

[hard plume]

Yes, participation trophies

[fierce gull]

Someone said it was gonna be a vehicle skin?

[prisma anvil]

Probably just gonna be a gun skin

[dense terrace]

Naval Warfare Tuk-Tuk skin

[somber pebble]

Lol fair enough

[hard plume]

It was fucking ridiculous

[earnest verge]

yeah i did, couple hours ago

[prisma anvil]

Hell, probably that arctic camo thing for a pistol or something

[fierce gull]

[dense terrace]

im waiting for weekly mission to make you do slides.

[fierce gull]

What if the season came out tomorrow

[dense terrace]

are seasons kinda like weekly but longer? 😄 do this do that before it expires?

[prisma anvil]

Yeah, like that'll ever happen

[mental cave]

visual changing gun skins when?

[earnest verge]

ive done the math, considered numbers not aviable, dissregarded that i suck at math, and it checks out, def no season tomorrow, thursday earliest

[fierce gull]

That would cause an outrage a lot

[arctic grove]

*march

[mental cave]

yes except with 100 possible items to unlock and more than 3 challenges

[dense terrace]

so no ranked no anything

[mental cave]

ranked?

[arctic grove]

guys please tone down your brutal expectations

[prisma anvil]

Yep, just like babies are small adults, weeklies are small seasons..

[arctic grove]

60 to 100 $$ for an unfinished game

[dense terrace]

ye well I played ton of BF4 5v5 dominion via ESL like 600 hours

[fierce gull]

Welcome to dice live service

[mental cave]

no none of that unless you join a tourney yourself then I guess so

[dense terrace]

i would dig smol ranked game mode

[hard plume]

It’s finished enough for me

[fiery shoal]

finally somsone gets the pricing right

[fierce gull]

Just couple of bug patches and it's alright

[prisma anvil]

Yaaayyyy.... Half game now, half game in a year... Woohooo

[fierce gull]

But we need content

[dense terrace]

bug fixing would be nice. it feels like it's been ages even if it wasn't

[arctic grove]

brutal

[fierce gull]

How old is the game again?

[mental cave]

feels like 2 months or smth

[dense terrace]

it feels

[fiery shoal]

2 months (to the day?)

[prisma anvil]

Fixing bugs is a legacy feature... Just slap a label called "features" on em, and you're gold

[dense terrace]

when game release is a shitshow time feels different

[mental cave]

hasnt been out that long lmao

[fierce gull]

Whatever they are storing for this week it better be good

[somber pebble]

Too old, scrap it, put out a new bf

[dense terrace]

brutalfield

[fierce gull]

M8 what they gonna make? Battlefield space

[dense terrace]

World of Battlefield, new mmo with hero characters. duh

[mental cave]

if they did that the new battlefield would just be bf2042 but reskinned and even more broken to meet the 2 year deadline 😭

[fierce gull]

Might as well get a space station map in this game

[brazen cloud]

It’s not comming out till match

[somber pebble]

That'd make the flying tanks make sense

[prisma anvil]

Underwater research base?

[fiery shoal]

the first seasons? not confirmed but likely

[brazen cloud]

Yeah that’s at least what I heard

[fierce gull]

I need that

[prisma anvil]

Thoughts?... After a while the dome cracks and water starts pouring in, it becomes like floodzone

[somber pebble]

Lol it'll just be a desktop icon image, doesn't actually do anything. 80 bucks

[fiery shoal]

people take a leak as fact though

[brazen cloud]

That would actually be really cool

[dense terrace]

even menu screen is making me mad, remembering naval warfare from Paracel Storm urghh

[civic reef]

Man those vehicles make the game so bad

Or those ranger and turrents

[mental cave]

watch them decide to drop the season update tomorrow with no announcement 😂

[fierce gull]

They should make the menu UI like bf4 when they change it

[earnest verge]

ranger and turret is freaking awesome, but the hovercraft makes no sense at all

[fierce gull]

If they do that and the content they bring is awesome
Huge comeback

[civic reef]

I kill the guy but his ranger gets me 😵‍💫

[fierce gull]

Might be a better comeback than battlefront 2 at that point

[mental cave]

theyre currently giving the community the silent treatment for hurting their feelings

[prisma anvil]

Hell, you could even do a tiny megalodon Easter egg tease on that underwater map

[dense terrace]

didnt even know battlefront2 had a comeback didnt play new battlefronts

but sadly naval warfare which also includes diving went into legacy category coz they are at least 5 years old!

[civic reef]

So when will hear news

[dusky junco]

Honestly remove the hero system and give us normal classes with soldiers that look like professional soldiers and take their job seriously and this game would start to feel more like battlefield over night. Next start working on redesigning the maps and making them smaller and a bit more infantry focus. Next focus on fixing the balance and adding more gamemodes and maps.

[fierce gull]

Keep casper dozer and Irish tho

[earnest verge]

Andrew Wilson told me we will hear about it

[prisma anvil]

Ah but, what if the water level never rises to head height?...

[dense terrace]

b-but this is how it works sometimes?

[fiery shoal]

tldr: generally change entire game, im a genius

[mental cave]

angel does it again

[dense terrace]

sounds like me when I go to the swimming pool :V

[dusky junco]

Make the current characters free to keep but add a new set of soldiers that look like soldiers and differ from the sides they are on.

[wooden tusk]

the normal soldier character models exist in the game, its not like they have to reinvent the wheel here

[dense terrace]

someone hire that Nyphon guy he got the jist of it!

[vivid nacelle]

no, introduce generic character you can customize on your own

[dense terrace]

main game picture guy is not even in the game is he. he looks nice. I can relate to him, could play 10/10

[prisma anvil]

Never happened to me, our instructors would yeet us into the deepest parta of the pool, you either learned to keep yourself afloat, or you swallow a decent chunk of pool water

[somber pebble]

They could just put the specialists into classes, restrict weapon types, gadgets ect, add the ai soldier skin as an option

[drowsy shuttle]

its almost impossible to do that. it would be almost redo the whole game. specialists or heros or whatever you wanna call it, are here to stay.. like it or not.. i would prefer classes too but i can live with specialists, it is what it is.

[mental cave]

its not even a hero system, let's not call it that. its not even near an operator system like r6. its a super mild version of r6 operators but with kind of useless passive abilities and gadgets

[prisma anvil]

I mean... It isn't that hard to slap this current system into a basic 5 class class system

[earnest verge]

i dunno, spoderman and betmen are heroes in my eyes

[fiery shoal]

this is what ive been suggesting now for a long time minus the ai soldier skins

[wooden tusk]

they could restore normal classes in no time at all, they wont because they want to sell clown skins to whales and fortnite kids

[dusky junco]

I disagree completely. Other than any story getting messed up it would be easy. Just change the names to different classes and make the player model for the class dependent on what you choose.

[prisma anvil]

Me and Boris here did it in like 20mins..

[dense terrace]

its betwemen actually.

[fiery shoal]

they kind of have to sell cosmetics to offset the free live service

[mental cave]

? a hero system would imply the characters can do ridiculous stuff and are OP like battlefront when 1 person out of the team gets chosen to be Darth Vader

[somber pebble]

I despise the specialists but I'd be fine with it

[earnest verge]

yeah and both the spoderdude and the batgal can do some preetty amazing stuff if u ask me

[somber pebble]

I'd rather pay for quality map packs and add one then suffer through another cosmetic riddled joke of a live service game

[wooden tusk]

and i'm not even really mad about that, just don't make me look like a ridiculous apex legends character, the specialists should have a realistic military skin on each one

[mental cave]

not really, McKay can do what. get to the rooftop faster than the people who can use the ladders that are literally on every single building?

[dusky junco]

2042 and Cod feels like the clone wars with the hero system.

[slim quiver]

Why do skins have to be one theme again?

[drowsy shuttle]

and the rest of it? so you would delete all special gadjets? the game is designed and with a mind set for specialists.. even the maps.. you can't just erase them or change the names or restrict weapons and gadjets and thats it.. and even if its possible.. would take them months.. and would be changing the whole game.. they would have to rethink a lot of designed features

[earnest verge]

mckay can litteraly do the whole apex legends thing

[fiery shoal]

hero shooter specifically has unique characters that their entire kit is a part of their identity and almost completely unique to them, on top of that they fit a very specific role in a team which emphasizes teamplay.. 2042 has a unique model and a passive/gadget.. its like 15% of what a hero shooter is

[fiery shoal]

you can have that preference, i prefer to get content completely for free and not worry about splitting player bases at the cost of goofy skins myself

[somber pebble]

I don't think the maps were designed around anything except being a BR

[mental cave]

id call it operators then cus thats what they are

[somber pebble]

But the goofy skins always become the focus, look at most live service games

[dusky junco]

Nope special gadgets would go to the new specialist classes. How the look though and the skin they wear is up to the player and can be interchangable. Aka if you want a Gillie suit engineer let it happen.

[fiery shoal]

imo the problem with that is thats what they tried to do with bfv, but cosmetics arent "cool" enough then to sell enough to support the live service (which is why i think bfv stopped the live service when it did)

[earnest verge]

[somber pebble]

Kek

[fiery shoal]

idk how it becomes the focus, its a lot harder to make maps vs skins, and the people making maps arent the same people making skins. if 20 skins come out per 1 map that isnt an indication of favoring skins

[slim quiver]

That’s because they sell

[earnest verge]

each to his own but i think they are pretty garbage all over, and thats a first in battlefield history

[dusky junco]

Few of them were ww2 skins. Most of them is like what we have now. Random cow boys and dudes wearing jeans and leather jackets. The most popular skins were the ww2 era looking skins in that game.

[somber pebble]

I guess I'm too old for video games now

[slim quiver]

Idk how old you are but the fact is that customization is big and nobody wants just one theme for customization

Especially when every game on the market has multi themed skins

[mental cave]

this could be the only logical way to get rid of it. making the existing gadgets split into their own class (grappling hook, riot shield, wingsuit for assault class) as a changeable setting but leave the characters to work as basically just skins, although they'd probably have to draw wingsuits for every operator and would have to do smth about the passive traits

[wooden tusk]

if they cant make interesting cosmetics that people want to buy, it seems odd that theyd remove generic character models and instead make the quirky characters with whacky outfits that people weren't buying literally being our only option. which imo is borderline the case with specialists like mackay and sundance. sundance's helmet isn't even a default option even though all the advertising had them with a helmet

[fiery shoal]

ehhhh.. the most outlandish skin was probably the burning edges one, thats not really that outlandish imo, though to a history buff im sure it is (which i am 100% not)

[earnest verge]

thats cool and all, but they should have went the ww3 way and not the apex legend way

[somber pebble]

That's the problem though, the games lost its identity trying to copy the microtransaction trend.

[slim quiver]

WW3 is a smaller game and tailors to “realistic” audience

[slim quiver]

They were going to have to update eventually

[earnest verge]

bro now u actually trolling, first u say maps good, now u say 2042 grounded

[mental cave]

there are no animated skins with crazy neon colors lol

[dusky junco]

Burning edges wasn't that bad the thing that made those skins bad was it looked like they were still on fire. They should of just made a guy in a tattered and scorched uniform not a guy who is actively burning alive and fighting

[fierce gull]

EWWWWWWWWWW

[fiery shoal]

they couldnt make interesting cosmetics because they were stuck to being "authentic" to the history buff crowd in bfv and the ww2 setting. imo going into the future with no pats and unique character models will now allow them a lot of freedom to make "cool" skins. (which i think was the intention the entire time)

[spiral ginkgo]

Can anyone get a 128 breakthrough lobby on xbox? Really struggling to get a game

[somber pebble]

Battlefield mobile when

[mental cave]

idk if yall noticed but bf4 also had a huge collection of skins through case openings...

[earnest verge]

yeah, but thats clearly what most ppl wanted in battlefield, not what we got

[dense terrace]

no crossplay no play my fren

[fierce gull]

Wasn't a huge fan of the skins

[slim quiver]

Idk about the most thing tbh

[dense terrace]

i was playing most of my time in bf4 on unranked esl servers so i didnt even used any

[slim quiver]

Some of the most sold skins I saw in BFV were unrealistic

[mental cave]

cus they were just camo patterns with slightly different color tones lol

[somber pebble]

The player counts can argue that

[slim quiver]

Like the hunter skins

[dusky junco]

I just feel lied to by the trailers. The main trailers showed actual soldiers woth military gear not the clone wars. They should of stuck to the concept art.

[earnest verge]

i dont think thats up for argue even

[slim quiver]

That has nothing to do with cosmetic, that’s more game design issues

[lost wind]

Hunter skins, which ones were those?

[fierce gull]

We actually missed it

[somber pebble]

The live service and art direction are game design issues too

[fierce gull]

The trailer was basically showing AI bots and specialists lol

[wooden tusk]

that's the idea, i just wish cosmetic options like the bot character models have were an option. maybe unlockable through the season pass. instead i have to play one of their cringe characters without helmets

[prisma anvil]

For skins... There's an image i sent to limited time a few hours ago... It kinda shows what kind of skins I'd personally I would want in a near future to futuristic miliatry shooter

[somber pebble]

Mods hes being mean

[dense terrace]

the feel when AI bots look better than players. #battlefield-legacy-titlesmoment

[fierce gull]

True classes can have same faces lol

[slim quiver]

I mean the cod community said they wanted realistic only for the unrealistic to sell a ton

[prisma anvil]

Eyo lim, you mind sending that last one again?

[lost wind]

Ehh… debatable…

[fiery shoal]

i dont think anyone can draw a direct correlation to one thing based on player count... i can claim that the player count is as low as it is because most people wanted more blue in the color pallet with that logic

[slim quiver]

Art direction got complaints since post BF1

[dense terrace]

i'd rather look like a soldier than a brokeback character dunno bout you sir

[slim quiver]

People will have to realize we won’t get BF1 art direction

[prisma anvil]

Thanks lad

[lost wind]

You ever see the concept art for BF1? That stuff is awesome

[dusky junco]

Clone wars in uniformity is good for a military shooter it's not good when it's the clones wars bc each character literally is a human clone

[fierce gull]

👍

[dense terrace]

everything nice , helmet yuk

[slim quiver]

I mean I’d rather look like a mercenary or a freedom fighter than a soldier because that’s what these people mostly are

Since they’re not standard service members of a nation

What do people think No pats are

[wooden tusk]

an awful decision

[fiery shoal]

personally i dont care what the pixels look like as long as they were killed by me and im alive

[somber pebble]

Overly chipper people at the end of the world

[prisma anvil]

Just saying, these are the types of skins I'd want... Definitely more rugged and pieced up than the one I made lim sent,

[dense terrace]

i dont need any insignias or anything but ya know... military themed stuff :3

[lost wind]

Most of the skins genuinely look actually military troopers

[mental cave]

lmao, if you play on portal and are on bc2,1942, bf3 solders skins and you sprint, they put 1 arm up and run around with the other gun facing down like they're having a seizure its terrible

[slim quiver]

Tô be fair it’s a video game

[fierce gull]

What about this soldier

[somber pebble]

To be fair it's pretty cringe

[spiral ginkgo]

@arctic grove thanks pal!

[wooden tusk]

this looks good

[dapper river]

ok so you wouldn't mind a battlefield game that looked like Cruelty Squad?

[dusky junco]

How do I get permission to post images

[hard plume]

This brings me back to when r6 was releasing skins, ah how time flies

[slim quiver]

And also to be fair I’ve never played a BF game and said to myself “wow this is such a dark and brutal game” BF has never been like that lol, it’s way more arcade fun than a gritty war game

[prisma anvil]

That's good, actually mordern...

[dense terrace]

i didnt say all of skins are bad 🙂 i have that one on my whoever that guy is equipped as that one looks dope

[fiery shoal]

ehh i dont like that aesthetic, gives me a headache, but outside of that weird reaction i dont care

[slim quiver]

The only BF game that did it was

1

And that’s about it

[prisma anvil]

1. Be a regular and 2. Adhere to the rules of the server

[slim quiver]

No other BF game made me think it was a gritty series

[dense terrace]

but mostly im running my covidmask mastery 40 angel around

[stark delta]

Specialists are cringe

[lost wind]

The gold edition skins for Sundance, Angel, & Rao are pretty sweet

[dusky junco]

You have never played a battlefield game that was dark and gritty? Have you played BF1? It was like being in a movie.

[slim quiver]

I just said besides BF1

Thats 1 game

[stark delta]

Bf 2042 is cringe

[dense terrace]

yeh i have those gold edition skins, i like the hooded irish the most i think. i played maybe 15 minutes of irish though
